You're not. WE ARE AHEAD AND SAILING AWAY

JK

This is crazy

canefan

Who says AC isn't exciting?

Kruse

Eyeties are fuuuucked.

Toddy

Almost turned it off when we went down. And then laughed hard at the commentator who said it wasn't over yet.

Absolutely crazy.

Eyeties are fuuuucked.

Going backwards like a WW2 Italian tank

Donsteppa

Who says AC isn't exciting?

Me, after I just about destroyed the TV when we were parked.

I guess the difference between exciting and infuriating is who is winning...

Shit, I briefly tried to think of a WW2 gag, but gave up, resorted to simplicity and profanity.

Toddy

Italy sailing home now?

canefan

I won't settle until this is over

Donsteppa

Keep on those foils for one more leg....

canefan

Time is a factor. We have 14 minutes to complete the race apparently

canefan

Who said light wind racing couldn't be exciting? Might be the most exciting AC race ever

Tim

Now that's some drama!

canefan

We almost dropped down at least 3 or 4 times. Looking well in hand now. Deano isn't on board so there will be no nose dive finish

canefan

One last tack towards the finish. What a race. A lesson in never giving up

antipodean

And they've crossed the line. Now that was an interesting race!

Donsteppa

The grinders deserve a beer tonight. If they didn't have racing tomorrow
